We went with a group of my colleagues from work and I would recommend it for both business and personal groups. Carol was a great guide so would request her if possible!”

“Awesome experience; however, the responses were two restrictive. One answer was double pumps, yet the number 2 and not two was the only acceptable response. Also, it would have been nice if the game ended closer to where it began and not down a potentially dark alley way if you played closer to dusk.”
